Beautiful music is the highlight of this nice 1947 film dealing with the lives of Robert and Clara Schumann.
Katharine Hepburn gives a restrained, but compelling performance as Clara, the woman who gave up a promising career to marry Schumann and subsequently have 7 children with him. The early scenes are comic viewing Hepburn as a mother of 7 attempting to rear the children. I thought I'd see the famous cooking scene repeated in Hepburn's 1942 film- "Woman of the Year."
Paul Henried is in fine form as the brilliant music professor who was plagued with mental problems. In comes Robert Walker as Johannes Brahms. He has come to study with Schumann and moves in with the family. His love for Clara shall eventually drive him away only for him to come back to her several years after Schumann's death.
There is an interesting performance by Leo G. Carroll as Clara's domineering father. There is a court scene as Carroll objects to his daughter marrying Robert. What would Womens Lib think about this?
